The Expat Hotel is the only place I will ever stay when visiting Phuket. Right from the day we made a reservation we somehow knew we were going to the right place for our first visit to Phuket. When we arrived with the minibus arranged by the reservation department at 10:00 p.m. it surprised us. We feel completely secluded from the hustle and bustle of the Patong nightlife which is just a few meters away......unbelievable. At the reception the welcoming smile of the staffs touched our hearts, From the receptionist to room maids and the waitresses at the restaurant the staffs were wonderful and very attentive.We asked for help making reservations for our various tours and they quickly took care of the it. I would really struggle to think of any negative feedback over the 4 days we were there.We only had one annoying thing though. One group of middle eastern guys was there for 2 days and were chatting noisily while everyone else was sleeping. We are hoping to go back later this year, but this time with friends. We want to proudly show them our finding..I echo all of the great reviews below. It's an absolutely incredible place to stay!

Every Saturday night at 7.30 for 190 baht (Australian $6) you can enjoy a great BBQ and salads at the Ex Pat Hotel in Patong. Heaps to eat, pool tables and a great location. Less than 3 minutes from Bangla Road. We've been there a few times, and now make it our Saturday night spot for dinner and drinks. Give it a go!

For the cost of staying here, the location is perfect with very close access to a great beach, loads of beach restaurants and bars. Even though it's right at the center of the hustling and bustling area it is unbelievably quiet and is perfect for a relaxing break for a few days. The rooms are clean and the staff just great-always ready to help. It is not at the luxurious end of the scale, but for the amount of time you need to spend in the room it does the job. Wish we had a chance to stay a little longer.

Room Tip: Poolside balcony rooms...first come first serve. Need to book in advance

Stayed there with some friends for a few nights. The big plus of Expat hotel is its proximity to Bangla Road and all the nightlfe, if that is what you're here for. The hotel is clearly geared towards the male customer. Rooms are ok but don't expect too much. Bed are large and matresses firm. In my room, the safe did not work. Bathroom could have been cleaner. Everything else worked fine. I was unfortunate to arrive at the same time as a few other guests and the staff at the check in clearly struggled to manage. While the service was generally friendly and cheerful, food orders could sometimes take time. The Sports bar is nice for a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap.

The Expat Hotel is a quiet and tranquil oasis right in the heart of the pulsating nightlife of Patong Beach. We are located only a one- minute walk to Soi Bangla for bars and entertainment; two-minute walk to Jungceylon for a unique shopping experience; five-minute walk to the beach to enjoy the Andaman Sea. We have a large swimming pool, set in relaxing landscaped gardens, and a coffee shop/restaurant serving Western and Thai food at reasonable prices. There is also a Sports Bar showing live sports via satellite and playing classic rock music as well as a spa, sauna and massage on the premises....more less
